After years of PCOS we never took precautions. Well I was a rock star, going from 306 lbs to 178 in 6 months!!!!!!!! Then I got pregnant. My baby was too little, and the doctors feared IUGR, intra uterine growth restriction, as a result of my weight loss. The pregnancy became very high risk, I was taken over by a special team of perinatolgist. Everything was going wrong. We had 3 appointments a week, 2 were ultrasounds, every single week. They put me on a high calorie diet to get the baby the energy she needed to grow, she needed body fat for her brain to grow. I went from 178 lbs to 205, which they loved. They took her out via c section, (emergency) over a month early, fearing she was too malnourished still in utero. She was not breathing and was on a ventilator. Then she was able to move to a nasal canula after a few days. She spent 5 weeks in the NICU. Today she is fat and healthy, six months old and perfect! However, today I am 212 lbs and can not seem to restart the weight loss, no matter what I do. It is devastating to have been within 20 lbs of my goal (and everyone said I was too thin lol), to now being 55 lbs away with the scale sneaking upward a couple pounds a month. I am so thankful for my daughter but her timing put both her heath and my long term health at risk. My only advice is birth control for the first 1 or 2 years no matter how sure you are you can not get pregnant. I had still not even had a menstrual cycle in a year when the dr told me my blood work revealed I was pregnant. 

I had my first child in March 2014! I never thought that I would be able to have a baby. My husband and I tried for 8 years to conceive and finally one day it happened. During my pregnancy I called my NUT 3 different times and I never got a reply. I was so scared because and I was afraid that the baby wouldn't get enough nutrition if I ate how I was supposed to so I just ate whatever. Now 10months after giving birth to my wonderful son I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get back on track. Can someone please help me. I am at a loss. Here is some BG: I am 3 years out from the Sleeve WLS, My highest weight was 350 and my lowest was 214lb (was so close to being out of the 200s and so proud of myself) Now i am back up to 262 and am so scared of failure. Please give me some advice on what to do. I am at a loss and have nowhere to turn. BTW I will be seeing my surgeon for my 3 year follow up soon. Thanks in advance :)

That's good to hear my doctor didn't seem concerned but I was just hoping to know that everything was ok yesterday.  I'll do another one on Monday. 

Thanks for the advice.  I've lost about 9 pounds so far but I've been eating more this week.  Do you remember when you were able to see and hear the heartbeat.  I went yesterday and we saw the sac but no heartbeat yet. I'm measuring right at 6 weeks.  I was fine with one child but now that im pregnant I just want everything to go well.

first off Congrats to you and the other ladie that comment under. I got pregnant at 4 months out from wls. I got the sleeve done. I was married for 6 years and gave up on trying to became pregnant. Decided to lose weight to look better and travel the world well 3periods after weight loss and the 4th one never cam =) I was Pregnant after 6years of trying. I was super scared my baby wouldn't get enough nutrients bt everything was fine. I kept lossing weight untill 5 months preg. lost 40 pounds. Stayed with those 40 pounds off and at 7months preg. started to gain . By the day of labor I had gain 25pounds of the 40 i lost. I breastfeed for 2 months and those 25 pound and 10 more where gone in those two month. So ladies enjoy your pregnancy and stick to the plan. really no need to eat more beacuse your preg. maybe 300 calories more but thats it. That was told by my Dr. to me.
